Rebirth of an Idle Noble Women (200-end)

249 - 252

Chapter 249: We Finally Meet

Cecily had been gifted with a talent for mechanics, and although she was part of the supernatural world, she never underestimated the technology of the secular world. She had also graduated from a prestigious university with a major in mechanical engineering. When she saw Gu Xiqiao’s skillful technique, she was shocked instantly.

“Have you been studying this for ten years, Miss Gu?” She was even more skillful than the professors in the industry!

Gu Xiqiao lifted her head, thinking for a while and she nodded. She wasn’t aware how many years had passed in the Virtual Arena when she was studying after all.

Cecily’s eyes lit up. “You’re really amazing!” She walked to Gu Xiqiao’s side in excitement, her eyes boring into the girl. “Let’s start again, my name is Cecily. According to your Chinese language, you can just call me Cecy.”

“… Cecy. Hello.” Gu Xiqiao was feeling slightly overwhelmed by the excitement and passion in the other’s eyes.

Ever since they had gotten the two machines that Gu Xiqiao had constructed on the spot, the progress of Yi Tong’s team was several times faster. Cecily was the main analyst, and she begged Gu Xiqiao to help her remodel many other smaller gadgets, which made the accuracy of her analysis even higher. Because of this, Cecily’s eyes would light up and she would be very passionate when she caught sight of Gu Xiqiao.

“Qiao Qiao, you’re the second most pleasing woman to my eyes ever since I stepped foot into China.” Cecily was sitting in front of the computer, analyzing the data in it. She looked up to see Gu Xiqiao. “The first is Murong Miaoxue, and the second is you!”

Having said that, she had an expression on her face that said Gu Xiqiao should be feeling proud at the declaration.

Gu Xiqiao was torn between laughing and crying at that.

She didn’t know that Cecily was actually such a troll after getting to know her better.

“Miss Cecily, we have collected all the data here. We’ve updated the Boss with most of it, and so we’ll leave tomorrow towards the northwest to meet up with the elder council.” Yi Tong kept his compass, telling Cecily.

Hearing Yi Tong’s words, a smile blossomed on Cecily’s face as she nodded slightly. “Has Young Master Jiang and the others left the city towards the northwest? Did that woman go with them too?”

The corners of Yi Tong’s mouth twitched. “Northwest is Miss Xiahou’s home, it’s only natural that she has gone too.”

“I see.” Cecily printed something out, and proceeded to drag Gu Xiqiao out of the place.

Once they stepped out of the yard, Cecily was like a wild horse that got loose from its retrains.

“Qiao Qiao, we’re leaving here tomorrow. I don’t know when we’ll be able to meet again, but wait for me to be done with the things I’m busy with, I’ll go and find you in the ancient martial arts world!” Cecily muttered. “I still have to see that hateful girl after I go back, I definitely will not endure her insults anymore!”

Her fist was clenched tightly as she said the last part of her sentence.

Gu Xiqiao watched her silently. “Can you do it?”

“No,” Cecily replied faintly after a while, and she looked at Gu Xiqiao, who never seemed to falter no matter what she faced. She couldn’t help but feel the bitterness building inside her. “Qiao Qiao, what can I do so that I can be like you? I was dispatched here this time also because of that woman, it was all within her plans.”
